and Broad Capabilities
In-House Raw Material Production
We process the bulk of our raw materials ourselves,
in-house. This gives us full control throughout the
development and manufacturing
chain.
Crucially for our customers, this makes us a more
reliable partner. Because we make our own raw
materials, we are more independent from variations
in supply. This means that we can deliver consistent
quality, in the required quantity, at the required time.
Furthermore, the resulting backward integrated synthesis
of many different types of chemistries gives us
the edge in innovation. We start product development
higher upstream, for higher-performance solutions.
State-of-the-Art Research Laboratories
Our product innovations build on a state-of-the-art
laboratory infrastructure and an extensive knowledge
of a full range of chemistries. Our researchers combine
a deep understanding of acrylics, epoxides, polyurethanes,
silicones, and melting resins with expertise in
chemistry, engineering, design, and processing.
This enables us to develop solutions that combine
different chemical properties. It allows us to make
customized solutions for specific customer needs, as
market requirements grow.
We are aware of our environmental responsibility, and
our product development focuses on environmental
solutions.
